Field Tracker was recorded at the Institute for Electronic Art, Alfred NY during the Winter of 2000. Inoue, utilizing his digital sound processing systems in combination with bells, guitar, and other odd sound making objects, constructed tiny improvisational sound moments each one having a shape and gesture of their own. These micro compositions were at times highly abstract and noisy and at other times extremely melodic and calm. Many of these micro compositions were used in the production of h…
One of our favourite "pure drone" album consisting of 3 amazing long tracks by Pauline Oliveros. I of IV was made in July 1966 at the University of Toronto Electronic Music Studio and was first released by CBS alongside works by 2 other young composers - 'Come out' by Steve Reich and 'Night music' by Richard Maxfield. It is really only in recent years (born out of the more radical elements of dance music, Electronica and ambient music) that music like this is being rediscovered by a growing numb…
**Edition of 600** A four track mini CD combining the never released two 10 inch's Maus (DS57) and Die Hennen Zähne (DS66). Die Hennen Zähne opens with Die Kralle actually a David Jackman track from his archive recorded in the early 1980's. Next is the title track Die Hennen Zähne, a joyful noise not unlike some of the TNB/Organum material incl. the sound of broken glass and tibetan horns, best to be experienced loud. Maus is the centre piece of this mini album and typical old school Organum. Th…
Kozo Inada is a japanese sound artist who has previously released records on various labels around the world (Staalplaat, Selektion, Digital Narcis, V2). His last record published is a collaborative work with Philip Samartzis on the australian label Room40.His music is a balance between austere minimalism and immense spaces in sound that creates a very strong tension and keeps the listener captivated from the beginning to the end.For J[], he uses samples and loops of classical music as sound mat…
Digital theremin, air synth, air FX, etc. Another step into previously unexplored territory for Haino--his first ever all-electronic album. Uchu ni karami tsuiteiru waga itami (the title means roughly 'Tangled up in the universe, my pain') sees Haino using a bewildering range of electronic instruments.
In Opposition to Our Acceleration mostly consists of soft, atmospheric sound art pieces, as usual fusing electronics, computer treatments, and improvisation on amplified objects. The characteristic mood swings of Illusion of Safety are nowhere to be found on this CD. Things develop slowly, softly, luring the listener into a catatonic state, an "illusion of safety" that endures throughout the disc's 74 minutes. The album has been put together from various live recordings ranging from quartet perf…
Tip! Comes with 16 page booklet. Daphne Oram is best-known for the design of her Oramics system, and also for co-founding the BBC Radiophonic Workshop in 1957, but until the release of this material, the only easily-available piece of music by her on CD was the 8-minute long "Four Aspects." There was also a 7" EP from 1962 on HMV, released as part of the Listen, Move and Dance series that was specifically designed to help children dance. Although the short pieces on this record are very basic, i…
With his works the swedish artist Carl Michael Von Hausswolff takes interest in revealing and using accoustic, visual, social and cultural phenomena. For the cd Leech he acts as a parasite on works by Olafur Eliasson, Carsten Höller, Tommi Grönlund-Petteri Nisunen and Richard James. In the three first pieces he sucked energy-sound out from the electric functions of those works; sounds that normally can not be heard. On James' work he bruises the skin surface as leeches usually do before they pen…
long out of print, one copy only available - Un ocean de certitude' V223 is a triple set: a disk each by Gunter and Wehowsky and one collaboration. Gunter's piece 'Deceptive likeness' is a minimal work, which while at a low volume is not quite subliminal, and close listening (especially on earphones) reveals a delicate soundscape. There are small musical events - what sounds like a cello, rising and falling tones, an almost shaker-percussion, a match being lit, metal clanking, water - which occu…
